BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
RATING PLATE
This is situated on the front frame of the appliance
and can be seen upon opening the door. Alternatively
the rating plate may also be found on the back or top
of some models (where applicable).
The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is
given on the rating plate.
Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance
as this may invalidate the guarantee.
PREPARING TO USE YOUR APPLIANCE
Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft cloth
and hot soapy water and wash the furniture before
use. We suggest that you run the oven elements for
10 – 15 minutes at 220
o
C to burn off any residue from
their surfaces. The procedure should be repeated
with the grill for approximately 5 – 10 minutes. During
this period an odour may be emitted, it is therefore
advisable to open a window for ventilation.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
The cooling fan comes on immediately when the
grill/top oven is switched on and after a short time
when the main oven is in use. It may run on after the
controls are switched off until the appliance has
cooled. During the initial period the cooling fan may
turn ON and OFF, this is quite normal.
CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The vents allow some of this steam to
escape. However, always stand back from the
appliance when opening the door(s) to allow any
build up of steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on
the outside of the appliance, e.g. a trim, it will
condense and produce water droplets. This is quite
normal and is not caused by a fault on the appliance.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
For your safety wall coverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.
COOKWARE
Main oven - Do not use baking trays larger than
30cm x 30cm (12” x 12”) as they will restrict the
circulation of heat and may affect performance.
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE

THE HOB
USING THE HOB
The gas hob has different burner sizes to suit
different types of cooking:
To ensure maximum burner efficiency only use pots
and pans with flat bases appropriate to the burner
size used.
Larger burner (Rapid or triple crown where
applicable) - use a large pan for food such as chips.
Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday
cooking.
Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering foods
such as soups and stews.
The largest pan which you should use on any burner
is 230mm (9"). The base of the smallest pan should
not measure less than 100mm (4").
Ensure the pan supports are correctly
fitted before using the hob.
TO LIGHT THE HOB BURNERS
The hob ignition works by means of an electric spark
system.
1. Lift up the lid. You cannot use the hob when the
lid is down.
2. Push in and turn the control knob to the left to
the highest setting. This is shown by a large
flame symbol. Press the ignition button
immediately.
3. When the burner has lit release the control and
ignition button, adjust the setting as required.
Warning: If the ignition button is not
pressed immediately a build up of gas
may cause the flame to spread.
If you close the lid of the appliance while
any of the hotplate burners are lit, the gas
will go out. This is because it would be
dangerous if the burners stayed on when
the lid was closed.
Always use the control knob to turn off a
burner. Do not use the lid as a cut-off
device. This will only cut off the gas
when the lid is closed. The gas will flow
again when the lid is opened.
TO TURN OFF ANY BURNER
1. Turn the control knob to the off position. This is
shown by a large dot.
When lighting any burner, ensure that it
is lit before you leave the appliance.
When turning off a burner, ensure the
flame has gone out before leaving the
appliance.
11
In the event of the burner flames being
accidentally extinguished, turn off the
burner control and do not attempt to re-
ignite the burner for at least 1 min.
THINGS TO NOTE
If you are having any difficulty lighting a hob burner
turn all the hob controls off and make sure the
burner parts have been replaced correctly.
HINTS AND TIPS
Do not overfill pans or they will boil over.
Do not use pans with very heavy handles which
cause the pan to tip.
Do not close the lid until the appliance has
cooled down.
Do not use the lid as a work surface or
chopping board. This could damage the
glass and reduce its strength.
Place pans on the centre of the burners.
Position pans so the handles cannot be
accidentally knocked or overhang the
appliance.
Lift pans on and off the pan supports.
Do not slide them across the hob.
Do not leave accidental spillage on the hob or
removable parts. The spillage should be wiped
up and the parts washed and carefully dried as
soon as the hob, pan supports and burner parts
are cool enough to touch.
A flat based Wok will stand stable on the pan
supports. If you use a round Wok with a collar
support, the collar must be the open wirework
type otherwise the performance of the burner will
be affected.
Take care to avoid burns and scalds
when reaching across the hotplate.
Take extra care when deep fat frying, do
not cover the pan with a lid. Do not leave
a pan unattended. If the pan catches fire,
leave it where it is and turn off all
controls. Place a damp cloth or a fitting
lid over the pan to smother the flames.
Never put water on the fire. Leave to cool
for 30 minutes.
12
THE GRILL
CAUTION – Accessible parts may be hot
when the grill is in use. Young children
should be kept away.
When you first operate the grill you may hear some
sounds as the burner heats up, this is quite normal
and is not a fault on the appliance.
USING THE GRILL
Fully open the grill door.
Push in the control knob and turn to the large
flame symbol (highest setting).
After a few seconds the grill will light
automatically.
When the burner has lit release the control.
The grill door must be left open when
grilling.
The grill door is fitted with a shut off
valve. This will cut off the gas when the
door is closed. The gas will flow again
when the door is opened. Always ensure
that the grill control is in the off position
before closing the door.
THINGS TO NOTE
The top oven cannot be operated when the grill
is in use.
The cooling fan for the controls may operate
after a time.
The shelf in the grill/second oven is different
from the shelves in the main oven. Only use the
shelf with the solid metal plate in the grill/second
oven.
Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident
as the grill cleans itself.
Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as
this can lead to grill fires.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE
The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.
To attach the handle, press the button on the handle
with the thumb and insert the lip into the widest part
of the bracket. Slide the handle towards the left and
release the button.
Ensure the handle is correctly located.
To remove the handle, press the button on the
handle with the thumb and slide the handle towards
the right. Release the button.

Always remove the grill pan handle during
grilling.
Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is
positioned centrally beneath the grill. Ensure that
the cut out on the underside of the handle bracket
locates between the bars of the shelf.
HINTS AND TIPS
Most foods should be placed on the grid in the
grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift
the food out of the fats and juices.
Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to
allow for different thicknesses of food.
Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling
to minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and
fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep
them moist during cooking.
Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid
when grilling meats.
When toasting bread use the shelf in position 1
with the grid in the high position.
Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few
minutes before sealing steaks or toasting.
Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as
necessary during cooking.
The food should be turned over during cooking
as required.

THE TOP OVEN
The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is
designed for cooking smaller quantities of food.
Place single dishes on the centre of the shelf. You
should turn all food round during cooking
The top oven is also ideal for use as warming
compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot.
Use the top oven when you want to warm plates.
Use the lowest setting on the top oven temperature
control.
PREHEATING
When you need to preheat the oven, we recommend
you do so for 20 minutes.
For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread,
pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best results are
achieved if the oven is preheated first. For best
results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready
meals always preheat the oven first.
USING THE TOP OVEN
Open the oven door.
Push in the control knob and turn it to gas mark
1 and press the ignition button immediately.
When the burner has lit release the button.
There will only be small flames at first.
Turn the control knob to the required gas mark.
Wait until the burner is showing large flames.
Close the oven door.
To turn the oven off, push in the control knob
and turn to the off position. This is shown by a
large dot.
THINGS TO NOTE
The grill cannot be operated when the top oven
is in use.
The cooling fan for the controls may operate
after a time.
Do not place dishes, tins and trays directly
on the oven base as it becomes very hot and
damage will occur.
TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF
Only use the shelf with the solid metal plate at the
rear of the shelf in the grill/top oven.
The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the
back of the oven. To remove a shelf slide the shelf
towards you until the shelf stop is reached. Tilt shelf
up at the front to that the stops clear the side
supports. Lift shelf clear. To install a shelf, reverse
the above steps. Each shelf position has an upper
and lower support wire, ensure the shelf is placed
between these two support wires.

HINTS AND TIPS
Arrange the shelves in the required positions
before switching the oven ON. Shelf positions
are counted from the top downwards.
Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf
and there is sufficient room around the baking
tray/dish to allow for maximum circulation.
Do not push dishes too far back as food will burn
if it overhangs the burner flame
Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on
the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base
and to help reduce cleaning.
The material and finish of the baking tray and
dishes used affect base browning. Enamelware,
dark, heavy or non- stick utensils increase base
browning. Shiny aluminum or polished steel
trays reflect the heat away and give less base
browning.
Do not place baking trays directly on the oven
base as it interferes with the oven air circulation
and can lead to base burning; use the lower
shelf position.
For economy leave the door open for the
shortest possible time, particularly when placing
food into a pre-heated oven.
Do not place cookware and cooking pots
with rough bases e.g. cast iron on the oven
door as damage to the glass may occur.
16
THE MAIN OVEN
HEAT ZONES
There are zones of heat within the oven. The
temperature in the middle is the gas mark you have
chosen. The top of the oven is slightly hotter and the
lower shelf slightly cooler. The base of the oven is
quite a lot cooler. You can make use of these heat
zones when you are cooking foods requiring
different temperatures all at the same time.
If you are cooking more than one tray of similar
items, for example cakes or biscuits, swap the trays
during cooking or you can remove the top tray when
the food is cooked and move the lower tray to the
higher shelf to finish cooking.
PREHEATING
When you need to preheat the oven, we recommend
you do so for 20 minutes.
For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread,
pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best results are
achieved if the oven is preheated first. For best
results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready
meals always preheat the oven first.
USING THE MAIN OVEN
Open the oven door.
Push in the control knob and turn it to gas mark
9. After a few seconds the oven will light
automatically. There will only be small flames at
first.
Turn the control knob to the required gas mark.
Wait until the oven burner is showing large
flames.
Close the oven door.
To turn the oven off, push in the control knob
and turn to the off position. This is shown by a
large dot.
THINGS TO NOTE
If there is an electrical power failure you cannot
use the main oven.
The cooling fan for the controls may operate
after a time.
TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES
The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the
back of the oven. To remove a shelf slide the shelf
towards you until the shelf stop is reached. Tilt shelf
up at the front to that the stops clear the side
supports. Lift shelf clear. To install a shelf, reverse
the above steps. Each shelf position has an upper
and lower support wire, ensure the shelf is placed
between these two support wires.

When cooking more than one dish in the oven,
place dishes centrally on different shelves rather
than cluster several dishes on one shelf, this will
allow the heat to circulate freely for the best
cooking results.
If you are cooking more than one tray of similar
items, for example cakes or biscuits, swap the
trays during cooking or you can remove the top
tray when the food is cooked and move the
lower tray to the higher shelf to finish cooking.
Do not place baking trays directly on the oven
base as it interferes with the oven air circulation
and can lead to base burning; use the lower
shelf position.
Do not place cookware and cooking pots
with rough bases e.g. cast iron on the oven
door as damage to the glass may occur.

The roasting temperatures and times given in the chart should be adequate for most joints, but slight adjustments
may be required to allow for personal requirements and the shape and texture of the meat. However, lower
temperatures and longer cooking times are recommended for less tender cuts or larger joints. If you cover the
food with foil or lid allow an extra 10-15 minutes for each ½kg (1lb).

SLOW COOK
The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in the
oven. It is particularly useful when you are cooking
soups, stews and casseroles because the long slow
cooking will make cheaper, tougher cuts of meat
more tender. Some foods such as pastry and
biscuits are not suitable for slow cooking because
the temperature is too low. Cover all food during
cooking to prevent it from drying out. You can
uncover food for the last half hour if it is normally
served golden brown.
USING SLOW COOK
You need to cook food at gas mark 6 for 30
minutes before you turn the oven down to the
slow cook setting. This makes sure that the
temperature of the food gets hot enough to start
the food cooking.
FOOD PREPARATION - SLOW COOKING
JOINTS OF MEAT AND POULTRY
Do not cook meat joints over 2.7kg (6lb).
Do not cook poultry over 2 kg (4lb 8oz).
Cook on the middle shelf of the oven or above.
Cook stuffing separately.
Cook for at least six hours.
Only cook joints of pork if you can make sure, by
using a meat thermometer, that the temperature
inside the joint is at least 88°C.
For good air circulation always stand joints on a
rack in a roasting tin or casserole.
Thaw all frozen meat and poultry before you
cook it.
Prime cuts of meat do not benefit from slow
cooking.
Remove excess fat and skin unless it is browned
first.
SOUPS, CASSEROLES AND STEWS
Do not cook casseroles over 2.7 kg (6lb).
Bring to the boil on the hotplate then cook on
slow cook.
Cook on the middle shelf of the oven or above.
Cover food with a tight fitting lid or tin foil.
